Wow, so you were even able to work in an area that doesn’t have anything in common with your degree :).
To be honest, I don’t really care about their accreditations, but I thought they might be important or be a big plus when you graduate. So if it is only about experience, I’d go to Scotland. And as both universities are academically at the same level (even though the lectures aren’t very good at my current German university-don’t know if it’s different in Frankfurt or better in Scotland), the only reason to go to Frankfurt is that I’d be close at home. Anyway, I would be more happy to study abroad and to be able to improve my English, so I’m going to choose Strathclyde.
Thanks, this helped me very much - mostly that I realized I could work anywhere with my degree.

Btw, I hope the Euro will stop to decrease in its value :neutral_face:. At the beginning of this year I’d get about 0,78GBP for 1€, now it’s only 0,71GBP. If it stays this way I’d have to spend another 100GBP each month (loan or work) :(.

The accreditations matter to… Colleges in Europe, who’ll be more likely to take your work seriously, than if it’s not triple-accredited (European business schools love to boast they’re tripled-accredited and see it as a guarantee, even if, in reality, well, it doesn’t prove much.)

@MYOS1634 Seems legit. Well, it’s better they’re triple accredited than not being accredited at all :wink: .

And I have just found another reason to attend Strathclyde: If I like to spend a year abroad, I can do so without losing a year (they will transfer the credits) and without paying anything in tuition to the school abroad :). If I would spend a year abroad while attending Frankfurt, I would definitely have to pay tuition to the host institution.
